Figure 9From: Information compression exploits patterns of genome composition to discriminate populations and highlight regions of evolutionary interestCEhZ applied to Brahman and Angus cattle. (A) Contrasting the heterozygosity corrected compression efficiency of Brahman and Angus coincides with a known signature of selection around the 25 Mb region of bovine chromosome 14 incorporating the gene PLAG1 associated with tropical adaptation and a number of phenotypic traits such as fertility and growth. New regions predicted include EN1 for Brahman (B), EYA1 for Angus (C) and ARID4A for Angus (D).Back to article page
